Gloomy outlook and passive state / World Bank report on agriculture: Full of potential and a host of problems
Albania, where the dairy sector is struggling with rising costs and declining livestock numbers, has untapped potential in the agricultural production sector, especially tomatoes, which could be a significant source of income for farmers, according to a report. of the World Bank.
The agricultural sector in Albania faces a host of problems. These include inefficient farming methods, distribution issues, low subsidies, rising fertilizer prices, and competition from foreign products. While the country is home to many farms and many fertile lands, its farmers continue to struggle.
But the World Bank report found that Albanians are significantly underestimating many items, including plain tomatoes. Exports from the country go for $ 0.5 (€ 0.48) per kilogram, while Italy exports the same product to the UK at $ 2.4 (€ 2.3) per kilogram.
The report suggests that Albania should consider selling its products in more developed markets such as Western Europe, as Albanian products can compete in terms of international standards.
He also notes that export companies and the agriculture ministry need to work to help with the certification needed to increase farmers' incomes, rather than working at a loss.
Other products identified by the World Bank as potential sources of income for Albanian farmers include fish, nuts, fruits, watermelons and canned olives.
But the outlook is not so rosy for dairy farmers in Albania, who are facing rising demand, rising prices and declining livestock numbers.
Currently, a liter of milk sells for about 131 lek (€ 1.1), significantly higher than in Kosovo (€ 1.01), Serbia (€ 0.86) and Montenegro (€ 0.85). The price is even lower in EU countries like Hungary (€ 0.67) and Poland (€ 0.61), according to data from Numbeo.
Produktet e tjera thelbësore të qumështit si kosi dhe djathi gjithashtu janë rritur ndjeshëm në vlerë gjatë gjashtë muajve të fundit.
Një pjesë e kësaj rritje mund t'i atribuohet rritjes së kostove të lëndëve të para pasi fermat shqiptare importojnë pothuajse gjithçka nga jashtë. Çmimet e ushqimeve për kafshë janë rritur me 50% vetëm këtë vit, kryesisht për shkak të mungesës së drithërave dhe drithërave të shkaktuara nga lufta në Rusi dhe Ukrainë.
Fermerët që nuk subvencionohen nga shteti u është dashur të rrisin çmimin e shitjes me rreth 30%, ndërsa fabrikat kanë rritur kostot e tyre me një ritëm të ngjashëm.
Por ndërsa fermerët shqiptarë kanë vështirësi, importet e produkteve të qumështit nga jashtë janë rritur me 18% gjatë pesë muajve të parë të 2022. Gjatë tre viteve të fundit, kjo është rritur me 27% në përgjithësi, me një vlerë prej 38.8 milionë euro.
Kjo është nxitur kryesisht nga rritja e qumështit të importuar nga Serbia, që përbën 25% të rritjes.
Por edhe krerët e bagëtive po zvogëlohen me shpejtësi përveç problemeve që lidhen me rritjen e kostove dhe konkurrencën me produktet e huaja më të lira. Shumë prona të vogla po mbyllen pasi ato bëhen financiarisht të paqëndrueshme dhe çështje të tilla si emigracioni dhe migrimi i brendshëm drejt qyteteve të mëdha po përkeqësojnë situatën.
The number of cattle in 2020 was 362,583, a decrease of nearly 13% from a year earlier. Goats have also fallen by almost 11 percent. This corresponds to the reduction of accumulated milk in 2020, which fell by about 15%.
Overall, INSTAT data say there has been a 20% reduction in livestock heads in 2021, which is expected to decrease further in 2022.
On June 6, the price of Albanian dairy products increased in all outlets and in all retail outlets. About 55 items rose in price from 10 to 50%, the fourth organized price increase in 2022.
